COMPLETE
TRANSLATION OF ORIGINAL TEXT:

VATICAN
CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - Given below is the complete translation of the
original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of Fatima, revealed
to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria-Fatima on July 13, 1917, and
committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:

"I
write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency
the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

"After
the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and
a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing,
it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire;
but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards
him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel
cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an
immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror
when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression
that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious
going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn
trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father
passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step,
afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he
met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the
foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets
and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other
Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different
ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels
each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the
blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their
way to God."

Full
Text of the Third Secret of Fatima not revealed?

In
a 1980 interview for the German magazine Stimme des Glaubens published in
October 1981, John Paul II was asked explicitly to speak about the third secret.
He said:"Because of the seriousness
of its contents, in order not to encourage the world wide power of Communism
to carry out certain coups, my predecessors in the chair of Peter have diplomatically
preferred to withhold its publication. On the other hand, it should be sufficient
for all Christians to know this much: if there is a message in which it is
said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the earth; that, from one
moment to the other, millions of people will perish... there is no longer
any point in really wanting to publish this secret message. Many want to know
merely out of curiosity, or because of their taste for sensationalism, but
they forget that 'to know' implies for them a responsibility. It is dangerous
to want to satisfy one's curiosity only, if one is convinced that we can do
nothing against a catastrophe that has been predicted."
He held up his rosary and stated "Here is the remedy against this evil.
Pray, pray and ask for nothing else. Put everything in the hands of the Mother
of God." Asked what would happen in the Church, he said: "We must
be prepared to undergo great trials in the not-too-distant future; trials
that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives, and a total gift
of self to Christ and for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is possible
to alleviate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to avert it, because
it is only in this way that the Church can be effectively renewed. How many
times, indeed, has the renewal of the Church been effected in blood? This
time, again, it will not be otherwise. We must be strong, we must prepare
ourselves, we must entrust ourselves to Christ and to His holy Mother, and
we must be attentive, very attentive, to the prayer of the Rosary.

Lúcia
herself is reported to have explicitly stated that the Third Secret contains
Apocalyptic content. According to one source, when Lúcia was asked
about the Third Secret, she said it was "in
the Gospels and in the Apocalypse", and at one point
she had even specified Apocalypse chapters 8 to 13, a range that includes
Apocalypse 12:4, the chapter and verse cited by Pope John Paul II in his homily
in Fatima on 13 May 2000.

A
news article quoted former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, Howard Dee,
as saying that Cardinal Ratzinger
had personally confirmed to him that the messages
of Akita and Fatima are "essentially the same."

A
TERRIBLE WARNING - THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY OF
AKITA, JAPAN:The third message on October 13,
1973, the actual anniversary of the final visions and miracle of Fatima is
as follows:"As I told you, if men do not
repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment
on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as
one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe
out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither
priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that
they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the
Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary.
With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work
of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will
see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests
who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church
and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept
compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to
leave the service of the Lord.

Prophecy
of St. Peter:

2
Peter 3:3-7. Knowing this first: That in the last days there shall come deceitful
scoffers, walking after their own lusts, saying: Where is his promise or his
coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they are wilfully ignorant
of: That the heavens were before, and the earth out of water and through water,
consisting by the word of God: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed
with water, perished. But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the
same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of the ungodly men.

VATICAN
CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - This morning in the Holy See Press Office, the
document "The Message Of Fatima" was presented. It has been prepared by the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and carries the signatures of Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger and Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., respectively prefect
and secretary of the congregation.

The document, which is over 40 pages long, has been published in English,
French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Polish. It is made up of
an introduction by Archbishop Bertone; the first and second parts of the "secret"
of Fatima in Sr. Lucia's original text dated August 31, 1941 and addressed
to the bishop of Leiria-Fatima, and a translation; the photostatic reproduction
of the original manuscript of the third part of the "secret" and a translation;
John Paul II's letter to Sr. Lucia dated April 19, 2000, and a translation;
a summary of Sr. Lucia's conversation with Archbishop Bertone and Bishop Serafim
de Sousa Ferreira e Silva of Leiria-Fatima which took place on April 27, 2000,
in the Carmel Monastery of St. Teresa of Coimbra, Portugal; the words of Cardinal
Secretary of State Angelo Sodano at the end of the beatification of Jacinta
and Francisco on May 13, 2000; a theological commentary by Cardinal Ratzinger.

In his introduction, Archbishop Bertone affirms that "Fatima is undoubtedly
the most prophetic of modern apparitions. ... In 1917 no one could have imagined
all this: the three 'pastorinhos' of Fatima see, listen and remember, and
Lucia, the surviving witness, commits it all to paper when ordered to do so
by the Bishop of Leiria and with Our Lady's permission."

He
continues: "The third part of the "secret" was written ... on January 3, 1944.
There is only one manuscript, which is here reproduced photostatically. The
sealed envelope was initially in the custody of the Bishop of Leiria. To ensure
better protection for the 'secret' the envelope was placed in the secret archives
of the Holy Office on April 4, 1957. The Bishop of Leiria informed Sr. Lucia
of this."

The
secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith indicates that
"according to the records of the Archives, the Commissary of the Holy Office,
Fr. Pierre Paul Philippe O.P., with the agreement of Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani,
brought the envelope containing the third part of the 'secret of Fatima' to
Pope John XXIII on August 17, 1959. 'After some hesitation,' His Holiness
said: 'We shall wait. I shall pray. I shall let you know what I decide.' In
fact Pope John XXIII decided to return the sealed envelope to the Holy Office
and not to reveal the third part of the 'secret.' Paul VI read the contents
with the Substitute, Archbishop Angelo Dell'Acqua, on March 27, 1965 and returned
the envelope to the Archives of the Holy Office, deciding not to publish the
text. John Paul II, for his part, asked for the envelope containing the third
part of the 'secret' following the assassination attempt on May 13, 1981,"
and this was given to Archbishop Eduardo Martinez Somalo, Substitute of the
Secretariat of State, on July 18 of the same year. On August 11 it was returned
to the Archives of the Holy Office.

"As
is well known," added Archbishop Bertone, "Pope John Paul II immediately thought
of consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and he himself composed
a prayer for what he called an 'Act of Entrustment' which was to be celebrated
in the Basilica of St. Mary Major on June 7 1981." "In order to respond more
fully to the requests of 'Our Lady,' the Holy Father desired to make more
explicit during the Holy Year of the Redemption the Act of Entrustment of
June 7, 1981, which had been repeated in Fatima on May 13, 1982."

"Sr.
Lucia," continued the archbishop, "personally confirmed that this solemn and
universal act of consecration corresponded to what Our Lady wished. Hence
any further discussion or request is without basis." Sr. Lucia had already
hinted at the interpretation of the third part of the 'secret' in a letter
to the Holy Father dated May 12, 1982. That letter is also published in the
document.

Finally,
Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone indicates that "the decision of His Holiness Pope
John Paul II to make public the third part of the 'secret' of Fatima brings
to an end a period of history marked by tragic human lust for power and evil,
yet pervaded by the merciful love of God and the watchful care of the Mother
of Jesus and of the Church." .MESSAGE FATIMA/BERTONE VIS 000626 (740)

CARDINAL
RATZINGER: PENANCE IS THE KEY TO THE "SECRET"

VATICAN
CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith, writes that the "key word" of the third secret
of Fatima "is the triple cry, 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'" These words appear
in his "theological commentary" published at the end of the document made
public today by the Holy See. Cardinal Ratzinger goes on to state that other
key words are "my Immaculate heart will triumph," and "the Heart open to God,
purified by contemplation of God, is stronger than guns and weapons of every
kind. The 'fiat' of Mary, the word of her heart, has changed the history of
the world."

The
theological commentary of the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine
of the Faith is divided into three parts: "Public Revelation and private revelations
- their theological status"; "The anthropological structure of private revelations"
and "An attempt to interpret the 'secret' of Fatima".

"The
term 'public Revelation' refers to the revealing action of God directed to
humanity as a whole and which finds its literary expression in the two parts
of the Bible: the Old and New Testaments. It is called 'Revelation' because
in it God gradually made himself known to men, to the point of becoming man
himself, in order to draw to himself the whole world and unite it with himself
through his Incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. ... In Christ, God has said everything,
that is, he has revealed himself completely, and therefore Revelation came
to an end with the fulfillment of the mystery of Christ as enunciated in the
New Testament."

'Private
revelation,' on the other hand, "refers to all the visions and revelations
which have taken place since the completion of the New Testament. This is
the category to which we must assign the message of Fatima. ... The authority
of private revelations is essentially different from that of the definitive
public Revelation. The latter demands faith." Private revelation, on the other
hand, "is a help to this faith, and shows its credibility precisely by leading
(one) back to the definitive public Revelation."

Quoting the Flemish theologian E. Dhanis, Cardinal Ratzinger affirms that
"ecclesiastical approval of a private revelation has three elements: the message
contains nothing contrary to faith or morals; it is lawful to make it public;
and the faithful are authorized to accept it with prudence. Such a message
can be a genuine help in understanding the Gospel and living it better at
a particular moment in time; therefore it should not be disregarded. It is
a help which is offered, but which one is not obliged to use."

Cardinal
Ratzinger also highlights that "prophecy in the biblical sense does not mean
to predict the future but to explain the will of God for the present, and
therefore show the right path to take for the future."

The
most important part of the theological commentary is dedicated to: "An attempt
to interpret the 'secret' of Fatima." In the same way as the key word of the
first and second part of the 'secret' is to 'save souls,' "the key word of
this third part is the threefold cry: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!' The beginning
of the Gospel comes to mind: 'Repent and believe the Good News.' To understand
the signs of the times means to accept the urgency of penance § of conversion
§ of faith. This is the correct response to this moment of history, characterized
by the grave perils outlined in the images that follow. Allow me to add here
a personal recollection: in a conversation with me Sister Lucia said that
it appeared ever more clearly to her that the purpose of all the apparitions
was to help people to grow more and more in faith, hope and love§everything
else was intended to lead to this."

The
prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith then considers the
"images" of the secret: "The angel with the flaming sword on the left of the
Mother of God recalls similar images in the Book of Revelation. This represents
the threat of judgement which looms over the world. Today the prospect that
the world might be reduced to ashes by a sea of fire no longer seems pure
fantasy: man himself, with his inventions, has forged the flaming sword.

"The
vision then shows the power which stands opposed to the force of destruction
§ the splendor of the Mother of God and, stemming from this in a certain way,
the summons to penance. In this way, the importance of human freedom is underlined:
the future is not in fact unchangeably set, and the image which the children
saw is in no way a film preview of a future in which nothing can be changed.
Indeed, the whole point of the vision is to bring freedom onto the scene and
to steer freedom in a positive direction. ... Its meaning is to mobilize the
forces of change in the right direction. Therefore we must totally discount
fatalistic explanations of the 'secret,' such as, for example, the claim that
the would-be assassin of May 13 1981 was merely an instrument of the divine
plan guided by Providence. ... Rather, the vision speaks of dangers and how
we might be saved from them."

Cardinal
Ratzinger explains that "the place of the action is described in three symbols:
a steep mountain, a great city reduced to ruins and finally a large rough-hewn
cross. The mountain and city symbolize the arena of human history: history
as an arduous ascent to the summit, history as the arena of human creativity
and social harmony, but at the same time a place of destruction, where man
actually destroys the fruits of his own work. ... On the mountain stands the
cross§the goal and guide of history. The cross transforms destruction into
salvation; it stands as a sign of history's misery but also as a promise for
history.

"At
this point human persons appear: the Bishop dressed in white ('we had the
impression that it was the Holy Father'), other Bishops, priests, men and
women Religious, and men and women of different ranks and social positions.
The Pope seems to precede the others, trembling and suffering because of all
the horrors around him. Not only do the houses of the city lie half in ruins,
but he makes his way among the corpses of the dead. The Church's path is thus
described as a 'Via Crucis,' as a journey through a time of violence, destruction
and persecution. The history of an entire century can be seen represented
in this image. Just as the places of the earth are synthetically described
in the two images of the mountain and the city, and are directed towards the
cross, so too time is presented in a compressed way.

"In
the vision we can recognize the last century as a century of martyrs, a century
of suffering and persecution for the Church, a century of World Wars and the
many local wars which filled the last fifty years and have inflicted unprecedented
forms of cruelty. In the 'mirror' of this vision we see passing before us
the witnesses of the faith decade by decade."

The
cardinal also states that "in the Via Crucis of an entire century, the figure
of the Pope has a special role. In his arduous ascent of the mountain we can
undoubtedly see a convergence of different Popes. Beginning from Pius X up
to the present Pope, they all shared the sufferings of the century and strove
to go forward through all the anguish along the path which leads to the Cross.
In the vision, the Pope too is killed along with the martyrs. When, after
the attempted assassination on 13 May 1981, the Holy Father had the text of
the third part of the 'secret' brought to him, was it not inevitable that
he should see in it his own fate? He had been very close to death, and he
himself explained his survival in the following words: '... it was a mother's
hand that guided the bullet's path and in his throes the Pope halted at the
threshold of death' (May 13 1994). That here 'a mother's hand' had deflected
the fateful bullet only shows once more that there is no immutable destiny,
that faith and prayer are forces which can influence history and that in the
end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies."

The
conclusion of the secret, continues the cardinal, "uses images which Lucia
may have seen in devotional books and which draw their inspiration from long-standing
intuitions of faith. It is a consoling vision, which seeks to open a history
of blood and tears to the healing power of God. Beneath the arms of the cross
angels gather up the blood of the martyrs, and with it they give life to the
souls making their way to God. Here, the blood of Christ and the blood of
the martyrs are considered as one: the blood of the martyrs runs down from
the arms of the cross. The martyrs die in communion with the Passion of Christ,
and their death becomes one with his."

"The
vision of the third part of the 'secret', so distressing at first, concludes
with an image of hope: no suffering is in vain, and it is a suffering Church,
a Church of martyrs, which becomes a sign-post for man in his search for God.
... From the suffering of the witnesses there comes a purifying and renewing
power, because their suffering is the actualization of the suffering of Christ
himself and a communication in the here and now of its saving effect."

"What
is the meaning of the 'secret' of Fatima as a whole (in its three parts)?"
asks the Cardinal: "First of all we must affirm with Cardinal Sodano: '...
the events to which the third part of the 'secret' of Fatima refers now seem
part of the past.' Insofar as individual events are described, they belong
to the past. Those who expected exciting apocalyptic revelations about the
end of the world or the future course of history are bound to be disappointed.
Fatima does not satisfy our curiosity in this way, just as Christian faith
in general cannot be reduced to an object of mere curiosity. What remains
was already evident when we began our reflections on the text of the 'secret':
the exhortation to prayer as the path of 'salvation for souls' and, likewise,
the summons to penance and conversion.

"I
would like finally to mention another key expression of the 'secret' which
has become justly famous: 'my Immaculate Heart will triumph.' What does this
mean? The Heart open to God, purified by contemplation of God, is stronger
than guns and weapons of every kind. The 'fiat' of Mary, the word of her heart,
has changed the history of the world, because it brought the Saviour into
the world§because, thanks to her 'Yes,' God could become man in our world
and remains so for all time. The Evil One has power in this world, as we see
and experience continually; he has power because our freedom continually lets
itself be led away from God.

"But
since God himself took a human heart and has thus steered human freedom towards
what is good, the freedom to choose evil no longer has the last word. From
that time forth, the word that prevails is this: 'In the world you will have
tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world.' The message of Fatima
invites us to trust in this promise." .FATIMA MESSAGE/RATZINGER VIS 000626
